Please help. I am looking for a way to upload a file to Google Drive with my app. The Google Account in question will be a specific one, i.e. not the client's account, a 'Service' account. I've tried to Google it, but I can't find anything that seems to do what I want, And the API reference I probably don't understand. I have been thrown in the deep end for a project. Any source or links to help Please! I am not asking anyone to write my source, but if it exists, it would be nice.
Note: This is my last hope. I don't ask a question unless there is nooooo other way.
(I am using Windows Forms)
Thanks
Jacques
EDIT: It is always signing in to MY drive, whether I am using it or you are using it. I have also posted this question to CodeProject to harness maximum brain power.
PermaLink: http://www.codeproject.com/Questions/652006/Upload-from-Csharp-to-GDrive
This page tells you what you need to know about authorizing a service account https://developers.google.com/drive/service-accounts
This page shows you the C# required to upload a file, once you have been authorized https://developers.google.com/drive/v2/reference/files/insert
Treat the authorization and the uploading as two separate problems and you'll find life much easier. The end result of the authorization procedure is an access token. Give that access token the insert API and you're all set.

I've been looking around for a way to get someone's full name (as displayed on their facebook account) by following a link.
For instance, if you were to type https://www.facebook.com/zuck in your browser, everyone would be able to see that his name is Mark Zuckerberg. I want to get this information from a C# application, based on a direct URL.
As far as I've understood by reading around, scraping is not allowed on facebook, so that's not an option. Another thing I've looked into is Facebooks Graph API, however it seems that it's not possible to get someone elses name using that api, you can only get your own name using your own access token. I can't really seem to understand whether or not this is possible/legal to even do this. Does anyone have any insight on this?
I know that this question has beeing asked before… but somehow all the answers are incomplete, not applyable or (mostly) outdated.
So, I'm asking now, in 2018:
Is there a way to access app's details, knowing its ID (e.g. com.companyName.appName), on the Play Store, the largest mobile Marketplace?
Is there an official API?
Browsing the GoogleApis, I didn't find any.
Is there a way to obtain theese data in another way (e.g. some nuget package)?
Or do we still need to analyze the app's HTML web page, searching for the correct nodes?
I need to access this data using C#.
Best regards.
There is no official API for getting app info from playstore, the only way is to scrape the website which is not legal but a lot of websites are doing it so i guess google is cool about it
I need to just search Yammer for a various string on the timeline and facing a few weird issues.
Using Nuget, I got the yammer.simpleapi package (Found the bug everyone was talking about and changed it from GET to POST) and I created an App on Yammer, but, this is where the fun starts.
I have a local page http://localhost/home/yammer which redirects to Oauth and then redirects to my app with the key and I retrieve basic user settings.
Now, this is where I get confused - I see if I refresh this page, I just get a blank response (I guess that the code is only good for one query?), but if I refresh the http://localhost/home/yammer - I sometimes get the correct response and sometimes I get nothing.
This is best shown in a recording I did - https://youtu.be/RqrAGiP7Rh4
This is really annoying me and I was wondering if anyone knows what is going on?
I would post code examples, but, there hasn't really been anything modified from the original yammer.simpleapi other than the keys.
The web example app is just working one time.
If you want to replay your page, you should save your YammerClient somewhere (or declare it in static)
Given a facebook username and password, how do I grab the latest status updates from his feed? Moreover, i'd like to know how to get last updates from user profile.
I'm having trouble finding an answer to this question, and I'd like to know whether it could by done using PHP or C# (C# is prefrred). I'd be grateful if anyone could point me to the solution, thanks in advance !
You can easily do that by using the Facebook Graph API in any language. I suggest you should look at the API documentation, specifically the User Reference Doc (you can retrieve any user's status updates using this). It might take some time to understand how it all work, but you can retrieve user information very easily, provided you have the knowledge of a specific language and you understand how the Graph API actually works (there are plenty of example on the developers' website).
Also, you don't even require user's password for this. All you need is the user's id or username and some permissions from that user (or simply an Access Token).
PS: If you have any specific problem in your code, please update your question with some code that you've written till now and I'll be happy to help you with that.
I have a simple question in which I couldn't find an exact answer to, that question being:If I created an ASP.NET webpage, is it possible for someone to steal my C# source code?And if so, how can I protect my webpage's source code from being stolen/dumped/reverse engineered?
Please if you do know anything about this, as many replies as possible would be greatly appreciated! Thank you guys so very much, even if you just give me an idea on this topic! :)
Are you talking about a corporate user or a regular user?
Someone accessing your website from a web browser, like a standard user can not access your aspx/cs server side code. However if you are talking about a corporate user, if they browse to your web server and have access to your inetpub\wwwroot directory (or wherever your source resides) they have full read or maybe even write access. It all depends on the type of user, and the user security system in place for your domain, whether the person trying to get in is part of your domain and has proper privileges on your server. Also some client side scripts are exposed to user's as well.
So as far as server side scripts, users not part of your domain, and stringent security settings on your web server, are all factors contributing. But I think you mean in the context of a user just trying to access code from the web browser without any additional permissions. Which in this case would be no.
Not a complete answer but your C# code will be better protected if you use a Web Application rather than a Web Site. Your C# code will be compiled so even with an FTP access (or a direct access to the production server, if you suspect an inside threat), one won't be able to download your .cs files. Of course, one can download .dll and reverse engineer but that's something.

To the best of my knowledge there is not a way for someone to steal your asp code unless you allow them to see the file itself. If you view source you will see that the majority of the asp code has been changed either to html or javascript.
If I created an ASP.NET webpage, is it possible for someone to steal my C# source code?
Yes it is, there just to many ways how this can happen, vulnerability in the hosting environment, IIS exploit, your code allowing to download things etc. Just accept that your libraries (I assume they are compiled by the time you deploy) will be downloaded and protect them accordingly.
How can I protect my webpage's source code from being stolen/dumped/reverse engineered?
You cannot have an ultimate protection, but you may make life complicated for the person trying to reverse engineer it. Probably the most effective solution is to use code obfuscation. You may also want to read more general documentation on this topic, such as Design Guidelines for Secure Web Applications.
